Fiction
T. Greenwood, acclaimed author of Two Rivers and
The Hungry Season, crafts a moving, lyrical story of
loss, atonement, and promises kept. One November
morning, Ben Bailey walks out of his Flagstaff, Arizona,
home to retrieve the paper. Instead, he finds Ricky Begay, a
young Navajo man, beaten and dying in the newly fallen snow.
Unable to forget the incident, especially once he
meets Ricky's sister, Shadi, Ben begins to question
everything, from his job as a part-time history professor to
his fiancée, Sara. When Ben first met Sara, he was
mesmerized by her optimism and easy confidence. These days,
their relationship only reinforces a loneliness that
stretches back to his fractured childhood. Ben
decides to discover the truth about Ricky's death, both for
Shadi's sake and in hopes of filling in the cracks in his
own life. Yet the answers leave him torn--between
responsibility and happiness, between his once-certain
future and the choices that could liberate him from a
delicate web of lies he has spun.
